Might also point out that in the realm of political debate, arguing that something isn't legal is exactly the point. Yes, you're right, it is illegal for certain refugees to come into America. And I think that's the problem. It shouldn't be illegal because I feel like it's unethical to tell refugees to go back home.
I agree. And I believe that given events in Mexico and Central America, with a brutal drug war that's killed tens of thousands of people, that many illegal immigrants should be regarded as refugees instead. And yes, to me that means I'm okay with an amnesty for many of them. It seems only humane.
I do not disagree with this^
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
